Compiling with cegcc : ar: wince_rc.o: No such file or direc

[junkie_crew]

Hi,

Still trying to compile vlc-0.8.6c for WinCE with cegcc, I am facing this error :

: -DUNDER_CE -D__MINGW32__ -I. -I. -i wince_rc.rc -o wince_rc.o
rm -f libwince.a
ar cru libwince.a libwince_a-wince.o libwince_a-interface.o libwince_a-dialogs.o libwince_a-menus.o libwince_a-open.o libwince_a-playlist.o libwince_a-fileinfo.o libwince_a-iteminfo.o libwince_a-messages.o libwince_a-preferences.o libwince_a-preferences_widgets.o libwince_a-subtitles.o libwince_a-timer.o libwince_a-video.o wince_rc.o
ar: wince_rc.o: No such file or directory

I do not know what "ar cru" means, and what the wince_rc.o file is for...

What is it done during this step ?

Thanks !

Maybe it should be cegcc-something-ar that should be run,

Yep, I found what was needed :

The wince_rc.rc file is a ressource file, and the command supposed to deal with that kind of file is windres. So I changed my environment settings as following :

setenv CFLAGS "-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER_CE -D_UNICODE -I/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/include"
setenv CXXFLAGS "-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER_CE -D_UNICODE -D__cplusplus -I/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/include -I/opt/cegcc/include/c++/4.1.0/"
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv PATH /opt/cegcc/bin:$PATH
setenv PATH /opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/bin:$PATH
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc"
setenv "$LDFLAGS -L/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc"
setenv CC "gcc -mcpu=xscale"
setenv WINDRES "arm-wince-cegcc-windres"
